Does he have his own channel? Or perhaps chateau?

I have watched this Vlog several time, and honestly Michael and Stephanie have a magic that is so lively fun and special! I feel sad that their Vlog relationship has ended. A big loss for us all.

For some reason I didn't want this episode to end, I was having so much fun. Thank you guys!👍

I ADORE how so many of you chateau owners are friends and associate often! The best vlogs are the ones where you "cross-over" with each other to share your experiences!

So good to see Michael again. Watching you all is like watching an old movie. Thank you for sharing.

Even before the boyfriend reveal video, I noticed that Philip seemed like Stephanie’s soulmate - having the same passion for antique/vintage items, chateau life, design, and fashion. This recent travel to another brocante just proves it. Congrats to Stephanie and Philip.

Stephanie that lip color looks sooooo good on you 🥺💖

I love the relationship, they are beautiful together. Lower the volume, focus on the positive. Stephanie is very positive never crabby or annoyed. I like her energy. Love is ageless, people should mind their business. I love to know about the play Philip was in.

There's a line you don't hear very often... "move away from the taxidermy"! 😄😄😄

So great to see Michael in such good order.

Stephanie can take a chair in the train and say she always brings her own seats. 🤣

It so special that you found the cutlery! Paris always seems to have a bit of magic in store. Also, I am fully in support of those rose plates for valentine's day from the previous vlog. The lip balm is lovely! If you can't be naughty sometimes, what's the point? You work so hard. Thank you, as always, for sharing such delights with us. Now I'm off to watch Michael's vlog!

In fashion the days and weeks are long and rest isn't often on the menu so I popped across the road and aimed straight for Chanel whose products are amazing. Sadly the old Samaritaine is now a hyper-luxury venue that has surely lost most of it's charm in exchange for more boutiquiness !

But I also fully understand that the life/work balance is a challenge there, as in most big cities. Fun fact to find out that you Stephanie, had a partner also called Philip (although with double p and e). Enjoy your weekend (perhaps with some Outlander vibes? Are you a fan?).

Beautiful Paris,and brocante is my favourite! I would save on whiskey and splurge on the decanter as well! Hilarious!

Binge watching all your videos! My fiancé is 17 years younger and a Scot, I am Dutch 😊 Celebrated our 12 years anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Much love to both of you lovely couple!

I love seeing you and Michael together having fun.

Oh that little square at Rue Moufftard brought back old memories… I really love Paris in the fall, October being my fave month when the scent of roaste chestuts hangs over the Jardin Luxembourg, and I’m in the mood for red wine or a ’tipunch. Guessing you chose the right hotel for the latter! Such a lovely view, love the Paris rooftops eith all those thousands of terracotta chimney cylinders… NOT shopping alot in Paris is difficult, I’m seriously impressed. Been years since I was there, adding ”covid” even longer. Crazy how time flies. Fun video, have fun! And toi toi Philip!

I live in one of the most Beautiful places in the world (London), but (Paris) it’s a dream.Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

"Splurge on the decanter, save on the whiskey!" Love it!🤣

All the men in your life are very magical. Love you and Phillip together.

So nice to see old friends together again and enjoying the good things in life.

Another super video . Paris looked so fun through yere eyes . I can not wait for the advent blogs

It’s so true that when you finally think you’ll never do or find something, that’s when you find it! I found my grandmothers same China pattern in a random antique shop recently and she bought hers in the 50s I believe. I saw it and was shocked. It’s great to feel connected to those we have lost.

Wonderful to see Paris. Thanks for the ride. Beautiful hotel. Blessings.

Because you absolutely need to know, Stephanie, the 50's American automobile at your Paris hotel was, as Philip pointed out, a Cadillac -- and the name Cadillac has very French roots. The first Cadillacs were built in Detroit in 1902 by Henry Leland who named the car after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, an early 18th century French explorer who founded the city, which was part of New France at the time. Cadillac is also the name of the French town in the Department of Gironde just south of Bordeaux. Better yet, the impressive Castle of the Dukes of Epernon Cadillac, built in the 16th century, is open to visitors. Could it be worth a Chateau Diaries vlog?

I have enjoyed just the wonderful relationship among all the folks at La Lande. I think that it was aweful that a tv channel outed their relationship. I guess nothing is sacred anymore.Look at the way they lie about The Firm and all it's members. Love the fact that Steph and Phillip are so happy. Happy is so good in this time of such negativity.

What a perfect day for all, loved watching.

17:55 to 19:05 was my favourite part. I literally could not move from there. I kept playing it over and over again. So much fun. I eventually watched the rest.

So lovely to see you all so very happy 😊

The lipbalm part reminded me of when I had my very first bank account and card for the first time, I went to the Galeries Lafayette and bought myself a Chanel lipstick as my first purchase.

So lovely to see Michael happy and well. ☺️ Lovely vlog! I’m actually obsessed with the Chateau Diaries at this point and I cannot wait for Advent! x

How fun!!! I look forward in seeing you day in Paris. ❤️

My Grandmother had a 1950 black cadillac convertible...with red leather interior...i remember staring at the dashboard...as a tyke

And a perfect Parisian video visit, I would loved to be at that brocante for the silver too. Merci beaucoup!

What a delightful video, I smiled and laughed through the whole thing, what fun...I want to be there too...sighhhh...I guess I'll fix a rum cocktail since I'm in Florida so close to Cuba...cheers...!

thankyou steff for taking us to paris with you. Such beauty the streets the skyline and the Eifel tower wow .The brocante was amazing and you were meant to complete your grandmothers cutlery set.

I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog! Made me a bit nostalgic for the older vlogs :) and Michael is right, you are allowed to buy yourself a lipstick (or whatever else you want) and please don’t ever feel bad or like you have to justify it. Life is for living and enjoying.

love the hotel, like a Wes Anderson set!

I know how happy you must be to have found your grandmother's cutlery set. My father brought home a china set from Japan during the Korean War, called Golden Autumn by Rayku. I now have it but it is missing some pieces and I just can't find any replacements. If I ever come across it, I will be just as excited as you are.
